Out of the Mouths of Babes: Hilarious Kid Quotes on Love and Marriage

My 4 year old son recently proclaimed, “I don’t want to get married because I’ll have to share my toys and fix all the broken stuff.”

While I pondered the future of my two Clooney bachelors, it got me thinking about kids and marriage. Are all kids put off to the idea of marriage or have I just done a most excellent job as overbearing wife and mother?
